Chapter 476: Reversing Time
Inside the sacred barrier, Uchiha Dali's true body and over five hundred replicas attacked the unbreakable domain at the same time.
The barrier still appeared completely immovable.
But in reality, Whis's staff was already on the verge of shattering.
Cracks spread across the entire crystal orb, and with his current divine power he couldn't reverse the damage.
Whis knew that if they didn't make it back to Zeno's realm in time, Uchiha Dali would likely break through the sacred seal.
His heart twisted with anxiety.
"Whis, your staff."
One angel noticed and reminded him.
"I see it."
"But there's nothing we can do now. If we stop, everything ends."
Whis replied.
Sealing Uchiha Dali together had consumed far too much energy.
The energy he had left was only enough to maintain his maximum flight speed while carrying himself and Beerus back to Zeno's realm.
If he slowed down now, his energy would continue draining.
Then they wouldn't just fail to fight Uchiha Dali again—they wouldn't even survive.
"Whis, how long until we reach Lord Zeno's realm?"
Beerus asked.
"Approximately forty minutes."
Whis answered.
"Can't you go any faster?"
"This is already the maximum speed, Lord Beerus."
Beerus glanced again at the orb on Whis's staff.
Cracks covered the entire dark crystal sphere.
It looked like it could shatter any second.
If that happened, Uchiha Dali would break the sacred seal, and they'd be finished.
"Didn't you say the sacred seal was absolutely unbreakable, Whis?"
"Technically yes, but there are always exceptions, Lord Beerus."
"Especially since we're dealing with Uchiha Dali. Who knows what special methods he has…"
Hearing this, Beerus fell silent.
He stared at the crystal orb once more.
All they could do now was pray that it didn't break yet—that the sacred barrier held long enough for them to reach the Grand Priest's palace.
...
Uchiha Dali continued trying to push himself past his limits to trigger his transcendent comprehension.
If he succeeded, he could strengthen himself further and break the sacred barrier in one decisive strike, then hunt down Whis and Beerus.
But for some reason, transcendent comprehension just wouldn't activate.
After attacking together for a while longer, one replica lost patience.
He turned toward Uchiha Dali's true body. "Can't we just use that? Turn time back to earlier."
"Wouldn't that break this damn sacred seal?"
His words struck like enlightenment.
Uchiha Dali froze for a moment, then understood.
"I almost forgot I still had that ability."
He shook his head and let out a self-mocking laugh.
He possessed so many powers that he hadn't thought of it.
This was the divine technique he learned from Angel Vados—one of the cosmic law abilities.
Angels could only reverse time up to three minutes.
But Uchiha Dali's strength far surpassed that of angels.
He could rewind much longer.
Without another word, he activated the power of time reversal.
The moment he used the divine technique, his energy poured out like a tidal wave.
"We were sealed about five minutes ago."
"Then I'll go back six minutes."
The instant he made the decision, he burned through nearly one-twentieth of his total energy.
All nearby replicas vanished.
Space distorted, the sacred barrier dissolved into nothing,
and in the blink of an eye, he returned to Universe Seven.
Vegito was in the middle of being rapidly absorbed by him.
Whis, Beerus, and the other angels and Gods of Destruction had just arrived.
This time Uchiha Dali wasted no breath.
He didn't give Vegito any chance to escape.
He absorbed all of Vegito's energy in an instant.
Then he flashed directly behind Whis.
Whis and the others were still stunned.
They realized immediately that they had been thrown from the future back to the present.
They knew Uchiha Dali had reversed time.
But before they could react, Uchiha Dali struck.
"This is bad…"
Whis knew something was terribly wrong, but couldn't move in time.
A terrifying suction force pulled at him as his divine energy was rapidly absorbed and refined by Uchiha Dali.
The other angels and Gods of Destruction reacted at last.
They shouted and attacked, trying to stop Uchiha Dali from absorbing Whis.
But Uchiha Dali had foreseen everything.
Calm and composed, he released an energy shield.
Even now, techniques like Divine Seal Absorption remained extremely effective.
Combined with the Super Divine Devouring Technique, all incoming attacks were swallowed and refined into energy inside Uchiha Dali's body.
With that simple maneuver, not only was he unharmed—his aura grew even stronger.
Sensing the change, all eleven Gods of Destruction and the angels turned pale.
"This is bad, Whis… If this continues he'll drain him completely!"
"We have to stop him!"
Beerus shouted anxiously.
"We only have one option left…"
"I don't know if it'll work, but we have to try!"
The angel behind him immediately took action.
He used time reversal as well.
His limit was three minutes, but that was enough.
He chose to rewind to one minute earlier.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves—I'm rewinding time by one minute. Once we're back, we'll fight Uchiha Dali together!"
The angel announced through divine telepathy.
Then the entire timeline of Universe Seven began to flow backward.
